This was a decent move, but there were some WR/return men that got cut (Hakim, Caldwell, Bloom) that we could have looked at. Still, having someone back there that can field the ball is a great relief.

True, but Hakim and Caldwell were cut after the trade, if I am correct. So we targeted Rossum as a guy we wanted, rather than picking through guys we didn't. Bloom has shown less than Willie Reid.

I believe Reid has a bigger upside as a WR with the type of offense that the steelers will employ this year. Quick high % passes less than 10 yards greatly plays to Reid's skill set more so than Young.

I like Caldwell a lot, so I guess I'm a little biased. He played well for the Pats last year and he'd come in real cheap. I would much rather have him than Rossum, but I believe he was injured for some of the preseason. I guess my point was that we could have waited a day or two and had our pick of a few guys. Not really a big deal because as long as our returner can catch the ball, I'm happy.

You're right, Finny, Bloom stinks. I was just using him as an example. Maybe he can join the professional skiing tour.
